There are three ways given below to view the 14,000 plus Burgert Brothers
collection of Tampa photos. Below that are some comments about the
collection.

My newest method (not available on devices without Silverlight installed such as phones) employing what is called a Microsoft Pivot Collection. Once you have
used this, I don't think you will want to user any other. If your browser
doesn't already have the free Microsoft Silverlight plug-in , you will be
prompted to install it. This collection does not contain the Cirkut
panoramic images. You may do a keyword search and order my date.
Additionally the 431 Cirkut (panoramic) images may be viewed
here.

View a Random Slide Show of the images with descriptions. This
application requires Microsoft Silverlight to be installed on your computer.
If that is not the case, you will automatically be prompted to do that.

Originally this was a Telnet link for those of us accessing the catalog via the
Internet, and it gave you a glimpse of what the
Internet was like before the
World Wide Web (Of course, they
now have a modern web based search).
Since I love old photographs, I wanted a better way to browse an index of these files,
where, with the click of my mouse, I could then view the photograph. I put my
programming skills to work, and the Search with thumbnails at the first link
above or links by date below that will demonstrate the results.

There are now 14,234 photos in the index as of May 21,
2009. There were 13,222 photos in the index as of January, 2005, 8,578
photos in the index as of
July 1, 2002, and when I first compiled this
listing in December, 1999, there were 4,458.

As in any large database, there are errors. As you
browse the collection, you most probably will find a very small number of instances
where a file is listed, but no picture is produced when you click on it. In
another type of error the picture does not match the Title. Considering the size of the
database, such problems are understandable.
